Congratulations on purchasing your new radio control
system. We are delighted that you have selected the
MULTIPLEX SMART SX M-LINK. You are now the
owner of a superb system for the newcomer to the
hobby of radio-controlled modelling. We hope you
have many hours of fun and success with your new
equipment.
2. QUICK-START
1. Unpack the transmitter and receiver
Store the documents safely.
2. Insert the batteries
It is essential to maintain cor-
rect polarity (see adjacent illus-
tration). Reversed polarity may
ruin the transmitter and / or the
cells.
3. Binding
• Preparing the model
When binding is complete, the receiving system
immediately starts operating. Secure the model
carefully so that no damage can result if the propel-
ler should start turning.
• Prepare the transmitter
Hold the multi-function
button pressed in and
switch the transmitter on,
then release the button
again. The LED flashes
at a high rate.
• Prepare the receiver
Switch the receiver on
with the SET button held
pressed in; the receiver
LED now flashes at a
high rate.
If binding is successful, both LEDs revert to a slow
flashing rate.
4. Check the directions of servo rotation
• Model with ID receiver
The transmitter emits an audible signal when it de-
tects the receiver. No further adjustments are re-
quired.
• Model with normal M-Link receiver (light or teleme-
try)
All the control surfaces (servos) must respond to
the sticks in the correct direction; check and re-
verse the servos if necessary: move the correct
stick to one end-point and hold the multi-function
button pressed in for
three seconds: the
servo now reverses,
and moves to the op-
posite end-point.
5. Carry out a range check
It is important to check radio range before the first
flight: hold the multi-function button pressed in for two
seconds immediately after
switching on, and the LED
glows constantly. The
transmitter now generates
greatly reduced power, and
emits an audible warning
signal. In this mode the
